X-Station manual Final Template Addendum.qxd 24/05/04 11:12 Page 2 APPENDIX Template Descriptions Absynth - Native Instruments No Template label is required since the panel layout suits the Absynth format. Absynth has very few parameters that can be controlled via MIDI. It is necessary to specify a maximum amount of modulation a particular parameter will respond to over MIDI in order Native Instruments - Absynth for this parameter to be able to respond to MIDI at all. For example, Panel Legend Actual Control Function filter frequency is a parameter Oscillator Section Absynth will respond to if the filter WAVEFORM FM INDEX freq mod depth is set to an amount SEMITONE LFO1 S/H DETUNE LFO2 S/H other than 000. All controls have been set to transmit on MIDI channel 16 across each of the 4 electronic templates. When using the Generic Remote with the XStation in Cubase it is advisable to exclusively reserve MIDI channel 16 of the X-Station MIDI port to solely control Cubase. Do not use MIDI channel 16 for MIDI or virtual instruments! The X-Station Audio can control the following: FM index, LFO 1,2 & 3 Sample and Hold Rate, Filter Frequency, Lfo 1,2 & 3 Rate, Lfo 1,2 & 3 Mod Depth, Pan. Controls are laid out as expected except those shown in the table to the right.

Native Instruments FM7 does not have a standard MIDI implementation. There is a file entitled X-Station.f7c inside the FM7 setup folder on the X-Station Driver and Resource CD and also on the Novation website at www.novationmusic.com. To load this file into the FM7, from the master section of the FM7 click on the controller load button. Find the X-Station.f7c file and open this file. Note: this can then be saved to the c:/program files/native intruments/FM7/assigns folder where C: is the hard drive that the FM7 is installed on. From the FM7 preferences option make sure that the following options are checked: MIDI controller range 000-127 Use OP A controllers for selected op Use 3 ccs for ratio. Generic General MIDI 2 - Roland / Yamaha / Korg - Any Use this Template to control any instruments which conform to General MIDI 2 (they may need to be switched to this mode). No Template label is required since the panel layout suits the General MIDI format. A few controls listed in the table shown on the right have different functions to the front panel legends. Note that the controls are limited.

These are Ambience, Humanise, Shuffle, Host BPM, Volume, Snare / Stick selection, Half Tempo and Vintage on/off. They are found on the controls as shown is the table opposite. TRIGGERING OPTIONS MASTER VOLUME Bass Station VST / AU - Novation No template label is required since the panel layout suits the format for the Bass Station. A few controls listed in the table shown on the right have different functions to the front panel legends. Cubase SX 1 - 4 - Steinberg The Driver / Resource CD has a default project for Cubase SX included which will need to be used with the four Cubase SX templates for full control of this sequencer. The Driver / Resource CD also has both a Cubase SX and SX2 set up file. To import this into Cubase, click on the ‘Devices’ tab at the top of the Cubase menu bar and select ‘Device Setup..’ from the drop down menu. Click on the Generic Remote line from the list at the left of the pop up page. (Cubase names any external controller as ‘Generic Remote’) Click on the import button at the right of the pop up page. Import the ‘X-Station’ file from the CD Rom or from the hardrive if this file has been downloaded from the Novation website. Click the 'Open' button to import the file. To use the template it will be necessary to select the X-Station as the MIDI input. Halion - Steinberg No template label is required since the panel layout suits the format for Halion. Both Halion and Halion 2 have an identical MIDI specification so this template can be used for both plugins. The controls are as shown is the table opposite. •1• Panel Legend Oscillator Section OSC 1 WAVEFORM OSC 1 SEMITONE OSC 1 DETUNE Arpeggiator Section ARP TEMPO Effects Section EFFECTS CONTROL Envelopes section F1 F2 F3 Actual Control Function AMBIENCE HUMANISE SHUFFLE HOST TEMPO VOLUME SNARE / STICK HALF TEMPO VINTAGE ON/OFF Steinberg - Halion Panel Legend Oscillator Section OSC 1 WAVEFORM OSC 1 SEMITONE OSC 1 DETUNE OSC 1 LEVEL PORTAMENTO Filter Section FILTER FREQUENCY RESONANCE FILTER ENV DEPTH SLOPE Effects Section EFFECTS CONTROL Actual Control Function OCTAVE COURSE CENTS SAMPLE VOLUME GLIDE CUT-OFF RESONANCE ENVELOPE AMOUNT SLOPE SPREAD X-Station manual Final Template Addendum.qxd 24/05/04 11:12 Page 3 APPENDIX Template Descriptions impOSCar - Gmedia No template label is required since the panel layout suits the format for the impOSCar.

G Media - impOSCar Panel Legend Actual Control Function Oscillator Section UNISON PORTA TYPE OSC1 LEVEL EFFECTS SECTION NOISE - OSC BALANCE CONTROL VOLUME Roland - JP800 - 8080 JP 8000 / JP8080 - Roland No Template label is required since the panel layout suits the JP8000 format. A few controls listed in the table shown on the right have different functions to the front panel legends. Use the Oscillator Semitone and Detune controls to access Contol 1 & Control 2 for each Oscillator. Pitch envelope Attack and Decay is available on Envelope 3. Kontakt - Native Instruments No template label is required since the panel layout suits the format for Kontakt. Kontakt is a very powerful sample plug-in. Like many other Native Instrument Instruments Kontakt does not have a default MIDI implimentation. Instead, controls need to be assigned or 'learnt' to Kontakt. The controls used in the Kontakt template cover the most useful controls that will be needed to control a sampler. Each has a unique MIDI continuous control number within the Kontakt template to help. The controls are shown in the table opposite. LIVE - Ableton Use the ‘Sequencer / Mixer’ Template label with LIVE. Ableton refers to it's preferences file as 'template set'. There is an Ableton Live template set file called "template.als" within the XStation Ableton folder included on the X-Station Drivers/Resources CD. This needs to be copied to the Ableton Live preferences program folder directory but this will replace the existing template file. Because of this it is suggested that the existing template.als file within Ableton is renamed as templatebak.als so that it can be restored if necessary. The usual path to this folder will be C:\Program Files\Ableton\Live 2.0.3\Preferences. Panel Legend Actual Control Function Oscillator Section SEMITONE DETUNE OSC 1 LEVEL OSC 2 LEVEL OSC 2 PWM Please note that the existing key commands will be replaced for the version of Logic Platinum used.

A few controls are set to ‘No Control’. These may be customised as required. There are blank areas beneath these controls to write specific control names as applicable. Mixer 1 - 2 - Propellerhead REASON Use the supplied template label ‘Sequencer/Mixer’ since the panel layout does not suit the format of the Mixer. Two electronic templates ‘Mixer 1’ and ‘Mixer 2’ are used to control the Mixer. Use the DATA/VALUE encoder to quickly switch between the two. Level and pan controls for Channels 1-8 are available from ‘Mixer 1’ and 9-14 from ‘Mixer 2’. Undefined controls may be programmed to suit individual taste. Model E - Steinberg No Template label is required since the panel layout suits the Model E format. A few controls listed in the table shown on the right have different functions to the front panel legends. The Model E always uses specific controller numbers, so there is no need to import a setup file. There are also no preferences to set up.

PUNCH IN ON/OFF The Send controls 1 to 6 are not prePUNCH OUT ON/OFF assigned in this template on purpose. METRONOME ON/OFF This allows these six controls to be LOOP ON/OFF 'learnt' to Live as and when needed to MASTER PAN a specific track or tracks send controls. HEADPHONE OUTPUT The Live learn feature is activated by CROSS FADER pressing the button towards the top right of the Live screen. This will then turn all MIDI assignable controls blue. Click on the control to be assigned and then turn the appropriate control on the X-Station. Once the control(s) have been learnt, the MIDI button should be clicked to disable the learn mode. If needed a new template.als file can then be made by clicking Options-Preferences-Defaults and then clicking the save button within the Set - Save Template section of the pop up box. Logic5 and Logic 6 - Emagic Use the Template overlay titled ‘Sequencer/ Mixer’. Preferences will need to be imported into Logic that are included in the Logic folder on the XStation Driver/Resource CD. Preference files are included for both Logic Platinum 5 and Logic Platinum 6. Only Logic Platinum can assign MIDI commands to key commands hence only Logic Platinum can utilize the transport functions programmed into the Logic template. To load the preferences into Logic 5, click on the Options tab at the top of the Logic menu bar and select 'key commands' from the drop down menu. Click on the Options tab at the top of the Logic menu bar and select 'Import Key Commands' from the drop down menu. To import preferences into Logic 6, click on the preferences tab under the Logic 6 menu bar and select key commands from the drop down menu. Click on the options menu within the Key Commands window and choose import key commands. NN19 - NN-XT - Dr:Rex Sampler - Propellerhead REASON No template label is required since the panel layout suits the REASON Samplers format. This electronic template is suitable for control of the three sampler instruments in the Reason Rack; The NN-19, Dr:Rex and the NNXT.

A few controls listed in the table shown on the right have different functions to the front panel legends. Oddity - G-Media No template label is required since the panel layout is suited to the Oddity. Many of the controls do however have different functions than the legends indicate. They are arranged in a logical order and the table opposite lists the differences. PPG WAVE 2V Steinberg No template label is required since the panel layout is suited to the PPG Wave.The PPG uses specific controller numbers so there is no need to import a setup file. There are no preferences to set up. The X-Station operating system only allows a button to step though a range of values one value at a time. This will be changed in a forthcoming version of the Remote OS. This will then allow the PPG wave arpeggiator buttons to work in a more efficient and user friendly way. In the envelope section the Amp envelope is termed Env 2 and the Mod Envelope is termed env 1. Envelope 3 has only two parameters Attack and Decay. Controls are listed in the table as shown. Pro 53 - Native Instruments No template label is required since the panel layout very much suits the Pro 53 format.The controls within the Pro 53 template need to be assigned or 'learnt' to the Pro 53. There is a file within the Pro 53 folder on the X-Station driver / resource CD which can be imported into the Pro 53 which has all the necessary control assignments. This is the XStation.txt file. Any control differences are shown in the table opposite. RB338 Propellerhead No template label is required since the panel layout suits the RB338 format. Only a limited set of controls are available for MIDI control. Controls listed in the table shown have different functions to the front panel legends. Selecting between Synth 1 and Synth 2 is accomplished by using the grey select buttons, for example in the Osc section the Osc1/Osc2 button isused to switch between the two synths.

Certain parameters of the V Station are ‘packed’ into one controller and are currently not possible to control by the X-Station. These are: Osc Waveform, Lfo Waveforms, the Arp select controls and the Osc 1 - 2 sync buttons. These controls are set to ‘No Control. Reverb send level is sent by the LEVEL knob in the effects sectioin and Delay Level sent by the CONTROL knob. * Please check the web site www.novationmusic.com for future updates that may include these new control features. Set the Number of Track Strips to 8. Set Parameter 1 to Volume, Parameter 2 to Pan, Parameter 3 to Solo and Parameter 4 to Mute and Parameters 5 to 10 to send level 1 to send level 6 (depending on the number of active aux busses). Assign the Remote volume 1, pan 1, mute 1, solo1 and send level 1 to send level 6 to Configure Strip Number 1. Then assign volume 2, pan 2, mute 2, solo 2 to Configure Strip Number 2, volume 3, pan 3, mute 3, solo 3 to Configure Strip Number 3 etc until all 8 strips have been assigned. This assignment can then be saved and recalled when ever Sonar is opened. For more detailed information regarding Sonar and Generic control surfaces see the in depth guide contained in the Sonar help. The controls are shown in the table above.
